Vane Julian is an illustrator based on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, where she works from her studio for publishers, magazines, and institutions. She navigates between editorial and commercial work, doing press, children’s illustration, graphic campaigns and mural art.
Images as language
She uses images as a means of communication, as if it were another language. Each project has its own process of work, approaching them from a conceptual or graphic side of it.
Multicultural perspective
Her professional career has taken her to live in different places such as Barcelona, Italy, Manchester (United Kingdom) and Nepal, a fact that has influenced her work. Her interest in learning about different cultures makes traveling one of her main sources of inspiration, focusing on the gender perspective, traditions and their popular tales, which determines the graphic language she uses. Knowing different cultures has led her to develop an eclectic multicultural perspective that is reflected in her way of working, using bright colors, simple shapes and iconography.
Critical and committed perspective
She collaborates assiduously in cultural initiatives contributing the graphic part from a critical and committed perspective.
